I've spent the last two months researching heavily the Catalina 25, and looking at every ad I can find to compare prices, condition, local markets, etc. I honed in on an '82, SR/FK/Traditional at my preferred local lake, and after 2 inspections (mine and a professional) my contingent offer has been accepted! Now it's down to the haul out and bottom inspection, and we're trying to set that up for Wednesday. If it goes well, I'll have my new (to me) boat, and will be sailing her this weekend!

The old man has been polishing the bee out of it, she came out pretty good. There are a few low lakes that might get a visit soon, but I am afraid her home dockage is still frozen at least another 5 weeks or so.

Haul out and cleaning went very well. The thick green furry mat blasted away to reveal light blue paint. No blisters! Rapped all over the hull, nice sharp sound everywhere. All thru hulls solid, no leaks...we're good to go. All that's left is the paperwork and funds! I'll have a new (to me) boat this weekend!
